# User Activity Monitor {: #user-activity-monitor }

!!! info "Availability information"
     For Managed Cloud AI users, the User Activity Monitor feature requires an upgraded package. If you do not see the monitor, and would like access, contact your DataRobot representative.

    	**Required permission:** Enable Activity Monitoring

DataRobot continuously collects user and system data and makes it available to you through the User Activity Monitor (UAM). The tool provides a means for accessing and analyzing various usage data and prediction statistics. You can view reports online or export the data as CSV files. System information about the deployed cluster is available as well.

You can use this information to understand how DataRobot is being used, troubleshoot model or prediction errors, monitor user activities, and more. User activity data is available for review online and can be downloaded for offline access. Filters enable you to access and limit data records to specified time frames, users, and projects. The information provided in these reports proves invaluable to DataRobot Support when understanding your deployed system and resolving issues. You can also exclude sensitive "identifying information" like usernames, IP addresses, project names, etc. from generated reports.

## User activity types {: #user-activity-types }

Three types of user activity reports are available: Admin, App, and Prediction. See the [report reference](uam-ref) for fields and accompanying descriptions.

=== "SaaS"

	| Report Type | Description |
	|-------------|-------------|
	| [Admin Usage](uam-ref#admin-usage-activity-report)  | Provides a report of all administrator-initiated audited events. Information provided by this report can identify who modified an organization or an account and what changes were made.|
	| [App Usage](uam-ref#app-usage-activity-report) | Provides information related to model development. This report can show models by user and identify the most commonly created types of models and projects, average time spent fitting each type of model, etc.                                                                         |
	| [Prediction Usage](uam-ref#prediction-usage-activity-report) | Provides a report with data around predictions and deployments. Information provided by this report can show how many models a user deployed, how predictions are being used, error codes generated for prediction requests, which model types generate the most predictions, and more. |

=== "Self-Managed"

	Self-Managed AI Platform admins, you can also download a report with system information (no online preview available).

	| [System Information](uam-ref#system-information-report) | Provides a report with system information for the deployed cluster, such as installation type, operating system version, Python version, etc. Only accessible by download.|


##  Access the UAM {: #access-the-uam }

Some ways to access the User Activity Monitor:

* From the profile icon located in the upper right, click **User Activity Monitor** to access all data in all reports for any users.

* From the **User Profile** page for a specific user, click **View Activity** to view that user's events.

* Once on an individual's activity page, remove the value in the **User ID** field and click **Search** to once again view all users.

* From the **User Profile** you can quickly view the [last five app events](manage-users#view-latest-user-activity) for the user.


## View activity and events {: #view-activity-and-events }

When you open the User Activity Monitor, you see the 50 most recently recorded application events. (By default, the User Activity Monitor displays data in descending timestamp order). You can change the displayed report and view different report data.

DataRobot can display up to 24 hours of data for the Prediction Usage online report preview. When applying a time range search filter for this report, select **Last day** or **Custom range** (and select a specific day). Note that this applies only when previewing the Prediction Usage activity report online; when downloading Prediction Usage activity report data, you can select any of the **Time Range** values provided in the **Export reports as CSV** dialog.

## Download activity data {: #download-activity-data }

Clicking **Export CSV** to generate and download selected usage activity reports prompts you to filter which records to include when downloading reports. You can apply the same filters you created for online report preview or set new filters.
